TrendView VIDEO ANALYSIS & OUTLOOK: Tuesday, December 17, 2013 (early)

 

Foreign Exchange

The video timeline begins with discussion of the degree to which the equities remain bullish in spite of the recent near term support violations (see Monday's TrendView Video analysis) and the fact that it weakened initially in spite of the US budget deal. The March S&P 500 future not even reaching, much less violating, 1,763 is a constructive sign, especially after holding up yesterday in the 1,780 area; even if the more critical resistances are 1,794 and 1,800 (weekly oscillator.).

And the govvies still seem okay on the March T-note future holding the low 124-00 area, even if it needs to find a way to rally back to the 125-16 area to keep the technical support  intact into Thursday’s December contract expiration. Quite a challenge. For much more on all that see yesterday’s Equities and Fixed Income TrendView Video analysis.

That is all we have to say for now on the equities and fixed income, and refer you back to our previous TrendView Video analysis for any further specifics of the trend dynamics and expiration rollover implications.

The extended video analysis after opening with the discussion above includes the macro (i.e. fundamental influences) factor discussion, including weaker than expected UK and US inflation numbers and better than expected German and Euro-zone ZEW Surveys. That is followed by the US Dollar Index at 01:40, jumping over to Europe at 04:00 and Asia at 08:20 with a view of the longer-term trend potentials (i.e. on the monthly charts) for the Australian dollar and Japanese yen, followed by the cross rates at 13:20 (including AUD/JPY) and a return to the US Dollar Index for a summary comment at 19:30.

TrendView VIDEO ANALYSIS & OUTLOOK: Monday, December 16, 2013 (early)

EQUITIES, FIXED INCOME

There will be some consideration of whether we will see the Fed QE taper at the last major (revised projections and press conference) meeting of the year on Wednesday. We still feel it is less than likely with Janet Yellen’s formal ascent to Chairman still pending, even if the data has improved to a degree consistent with conditions for the taper to begin. For more on that please refer back to our November 22nd It’s the Fed PR, stupid post.  

The timeline begins with the macro (i.e. fundamental factor) discussion including the mixed international economic data that had equities trading quite a bit lower overnight initially. Yet on balance the slightly weaker than expected Chinese Flash Manufacturing PMI (yet still above 50.0) was offset by what was on balance better than expected Japanese and European data. That is followed by the short-term March S&P 500 future short-term trend viewat 02:30 and intermediate-term at 03:50, then the other equities from 06:15, with govvies analysis beginning at 09:10 (including an important look at the T-note and Gilt expiration rollover implications) and short money forwards at 18:00, with a return to the March S&P 500 future for short term charts and summary comment at 22:30.

The foreign exchange video analysis will follow in the next couple of days. Yet for now that remains thoroughly consistent with Friday’s early assessment of the critical contingencies around the continued weakness in Asia versus still firm European currencies. While today’s analysis is rather long, that was necessary once again to explore the futures expiration rollover implications into this Thursday that actually included the March futures contracts. We suggest making use of the timeline to access the key market analysis you desire.

The video timeline begins with discussion of the degree to which the equities remain bullish in spite of the recent near term support violations (see Wednesday's TrendView Video analysis) and the fact that they weakened initially in spite of the US budget deal. The December S&P 500 future not even reaching, much less violating, 1,770 is a constructive sign.

 

 

And the govvies still seem okay on the December T-note future still holding no worse than 125-16; even if that is far more fraught due to the discounts in the March T-note future that becomes lead contract next Thursday. The same is true for the Gilt future, with the March Bund future also holding up for now in its 140.40-.00 critical range.

That is all we have to say for now on the equities and fixed income, and refer you back to Wednesday's TrendView Video analysis for any further specifics of the trend dynamics and expiration rollover implications.

The extended video analysis after opening with the discussion above goes to the macro (i.e. fundamental influences) factor discussion, including US budget compromise and relatively strong economic indicators. That is followed by the US Dollar Index at 03:55, jumping over to Europe at 08:45 and Asia at 11:10 with a view of the longer-term trend potentials (i.e. on the monthly charts) for the Australian dollar and Japanese yen, followed by the cross rates at 18:30 and a return to the US Dollar Index for a summary comment at 24:25.

We appreciate this is still rather lengthy once again, yet necessary in order to explore the extended trend implications for the Asian markets, and the relative status of the cross rates that leave the euro into or near significant oscillator resistances after the long up trend against the Asian currencies. We suggest making use of the timeline to access the key market analysis you desire.

 EQUITIES, FIXED INCOME

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the degree to which the equities weakened in spite of the US budget deal; possibly due to it still being in progress until final legislative enactment on Friday. Possibly they are concerned about the US Congress’ tendency to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Or possibly it is feeling that the positive Q-3 news lapsing into what will be more challenging Q-4 data and actual conditions into early 2014. We will likely know more after US Retail Sales tomorrow, and indeed whether the Ryan-Murray budget compromise is turned into law by Friday.

Back to the timeline, the macro (i.e. fundamental) factor discussion including the US budget compromise and economic indicators is followed by the short-term December S&P 500 future shot-term trend viewat 02:30 and intermediate-term at 06:00, then the other equities from 09:50, with govvies analysis beginning at 16:00 and short money forwards at 26:15, with a return to the December S&P 500 future for short term charts and summary comment at 26:15.

The foreign exchange video analysis will follow tomorrow afternoon, but the trend analysis is included with the text-based assessment below. We appreciate this is still rather long, yet necessary in order to explore the futures expiration rollover implications into next week. We suggest making use of the timeline to access the key market analysis you desire.

2013/12/11: Commentary: It’s all about DC and Retail

It’s all about DC and Retail

Key focal points in the first US data vacuum week in a while.

COMMENTARY: Wednesday, December 11, 2013

[We are providing a simple Commentary today because so much of the quiet market activity is still consistent with yesterday morning’s TrendView Video analysis and outlook, as well as the Rohr Technical Projections - Key Levels & Select Comments provided as ‘open source’ content on Sunday based on last Friday's US Close.]

What in the world? Washington DC shows it can finally craft a minor yet useful budget deal, and the equities are lower? One might think that the S&P 500 should be up at least $10 or $15 on the day. Yet with the US Congress there's always a catch, in fact several in this case.

Note that our description of what has transpired so far is "craft" rather than "passed” the actual legislation. And as we are prone to do in these sorts of situations, we defer to the insight from US baseball great player-manager Yogi Berra when we note regarding Washington DC reform and budget efforts, "It ain't over ‘til it's over."

What yesterday's announcement of a budget deal by Rep. Ryan and Sen. Murray means is we have entered the intense phase of determining whether another US government shutdown can be avoided in January. And what we see and hear at this point from the more extreme wings of each US party by the close of business on Friday (which we must allow in Washington DC means midnight) is the critical indication.

That is because Congress goes on its Christmas holiday after this week, and nothing will get done until they return at the beginning of the first full week in January. As such, anything that still does not have enough support to be passed into legislation by Friday and subsequently be signed by President Obama is not likely to leave enough time in January to return to meaningful negotiations.

In spite of the reservations on the part of the extreme wings of each party, we figure that Republicans are going to allow for a bit of further stealth (i.e. characterized as higher use fees) tax hikes. That will allow them to avoid looking responsible for another government shutdown so soon after their last benighted exercise while meeting the key Democratic demand for at least some additional revenue; and it will also allow them to tell their base that there were no explicit tax hikes.

The same is true for the Democrats on cutting or adjusting some spending. While allowing for most of the budget sequester level cuts to remain in place, they seem to have gotten a deal on allowing agencies to shift those cuts according to agency preference. That is much preferred to the across-the-board, inflexible percentage cuts on all specific line items.

And yet, there still might be potential problems based on a couple of key factors…
